Meanwhile, PC adds 2 AAEs to their 2011 lineup. To the Moon / Binding of Isaac

Binding of Isaac.

+ Dozens of interesting items to find
+ Smart difficulty curve
+ Tons of unlockables increase replay value
+ Randomized dungeons keep you guessing
- Items lack any description after discovery
- Doesn't offer official controller support

To The Moon

+ Inspiring story will simultaneously break your heart and warm it
+ Great dialogue that punctuates deep emotion with wit and humor
+ Gorgeous music
+ Certain sections cleverly use gameplay to enhance the story
- Some gameplay elements flounder.

I folded and bought To the Moon the other day after reading some praise from RPS chums, it's more interactive fiction than an actual game, but it does it right and doesnt attempt too many gameplay elements just for the sake of it like what other titles like it do.

As for Binding of Isaac, I loved super meat boy, but I dont see the appeal of rogue-like games even though they sounds great to me on paper.

Bonafined crap, no one cares about this indie garbage, PC gaming is dying lol.

To the moon looks pretty darn good, may check it out if I ever get the time :)

I'm kinda interested in To the Moon. I'll have to give it a try.

Where's my "i probably need a 1000$ PC to run these" option? :(

On-topic: To the Moon looks very interesting. I get an old school vibe from this. Well from both that is.

And Arkham City too. So many games i dont know what to play? Its like i play one game for half hour and then jump to the next one for little bit and just keep doing that for few hours.

If you liked any previous SS games, you'll love this one.

if i haven't heard of it it isnt goodmems_1224

You've heard of them now, though. Does that mean they're good?

Meanwhile...90% of the gaming population will never even play them or hear of them..lol..:)

I don't see why that's funny. It's not like they're advertised... At all.

To the Moon is seriously the best game I have ever played. Sure, it's hardly a game, but the story, humor, dialogue, music and they way he crafts everything is just so insanely perfect it trumps any game I've ever played and even every movie, TV show or book I've seen or read.

Well you should check them out, they're pretty damn good, especially To The Moon.

Why do they review this stuff but not Hero's of Might and Magic VI?

Probably the best thing for all of us here is that it seems you don't actually need a gaming PC to play these two games.

Or perhaps that's a bad thing for some of you trying to justify the purchase of a PC for 3x the price of a console. (not saying anyone here is)

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"]I picked up Binding of Isaac in that last Humble Bundle (a new one is up btw). Yet to play it, but does this mean I can count XBLA games as full AAEs+ now too? :PDeathtransit

Hey, if you want, make a thread saying why they should be discounted.

Dunno how you would objectively define XBLA/PSN level though.

To the Moon is one of the best games I've played. Ever.

[QUOTE="Arach666"][QUOTE="Deathtransit"] Yeah, I don't get why these types of PC games count in the meta game, but XBLA/PSN games don't. It seems like when I see a thread for PC wins the year again it's a bunch of games that wouldn't count on other platforms.Deathtransit

One thing is to try and separate what one thinks is the equivalent of what would be a psn/xbl title,another thing is to say only retail counts,because there are many games on the PC that are download only and aren´t at all in the level of a psn/xbl title.

There is no distinction there on the PC,I mean,if Shogun 2 was released as a DL only game we shouldn´t count it? That would make no sense.

Edit: Also,counting retal only would also include games like Audiosurf(among a ton of others),and those wouldn´t fit your criteria,even though there´s a retail release.

I think it was about this year only,not the whole gen though.Arach666

To The Moon is real good.
